“This edition contains Larman’s usual accurate and thoughtful writing. It is a very good book made even better.”
― Alistair Cockburn, author, Writing Effective Use Cases and Surviving OO Projects “Too few people have a knack for explaining things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design. Craig Larman has both.”
― John Vlissides, author, Design Patterns and Pattern Hatching “People often ask me which is the best book to introduce them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it Applying UML and Patterns has been my unreserved choice.”
― Martin Fowler, author, UML Distilled and Refactoring “This book makes learning UML enjoyable and pragmatic by incrementally introducing it as an intuitive language for specifying the artifacts of object analysis and design. It is a well written introduction to UML and object methods by an expert practitioner.”
― Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0 Working Group
  • A brand new edition of the world’s most admired introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UML
  • Fully updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practices
  • Includes an all-new case study illustrating many of the book’s key points

Applying UML and Patterns is the world’s #1 business and college introduction to “thinking in objects”―and using that insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact, iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices.

Developers and students will learn object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) through three iterations of two cohesive, start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML notation, and best practices. You won’t just learn UML diagrams―you’ll learn how to apply UML in the context of OO software development.

Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, “Gang of Four” design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more. This edition’s extensive improvements include

  • A stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and patterns, while also applying the UML
  • New coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoring
  • Many new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/D
  • Updates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics
  • New college educator teaching resources
  • Guidance on applying the UP in a light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods such as XP and Scrum
  • Techniques for applying the UML to documenting architectures
  • A new chapter on evolutionary requirements, and much more

Applying UML and Patterns, Third Edition, is a lucid and practical introduction to thinking and designing with objects―and creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and maintainable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Must-read for every developer
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2011
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This book is not about UML, it's about OO analysis and design in context of agile method. UML is used actively in it and is well-explained, but UML is just a tool, which requires a skill.

    To get a skill of professional software development I highly recommend reading this book. For me it closed countless gaps in my thought-process and left me with complex, but clear and exact picture of how software product must be developed.

    Many things popular now are merely re-interpretation of approaches discovered and tested in the past. This book presents all this treasure of wisdom. It gives you a clean and consistent vocabulary to use when speaking about anything related to software development and methodology of moving from problem to a solution.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Used with UML Continuing Education Class
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2012
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I am currently using this book for a continuing education class. It's a good reference for UML as the front and back covers can be quick referenced for the standards. I'm by no means a UML expert (yet) but the book gives good insights as to when certain items should and should not be used. That being said it's better in a classroom environment then for a quick crash course. If you were going to learn UML on your own I think using it as a compliment to other material will give you deeper understanding.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to object oriented software analysis, design, and development with UML
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2011
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Read this book as part of an analysis and design class I recently took at the University of St. Thomas, Saint Paul. I have had the previous edition of this book, but it took taking a class to actually get me to read it entirely. Enough good things have already been said about this book by others, and I don't have a different opinion here either. What I especially enjoyed when reading this book is it's description and demonstration using effective UML diagrams of simple examples and case studies - of the application of the GRASP (General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns or Principles) and the GOF (Gang-Of-Four) patterns for doing object-oriented software design and development.

    I was a little skeptic about buying used book despite it saying the condition was very good. But when it arrived it was way better than what I imagined. The book was practically new with no markings, no highlights, as good as new. The hardcover was a little worn out but the book feels brand new and for the price its amazing.

    Loved it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Thorough but frustratingly so
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2006
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I have to disagree with whoever said this is a great book for beginners. There is too much information to the point of overkill. I am getting more enlightenment from going to [...] and reading the UML specs. The author interjects way too much unnecessary information, then takes a good example model (like on the back page) using default language, only to throw "veggieburger" in the middle of it all, which to a novice lends only to confusion.

    I am in the middle of reading this so I may change my stripes by the end, but I really don't see it happening. "UML 2 Toolkit" and "Head First Design" have helped me learn this stuff much faster.

    I've been trying to find a competent writer on this subject for years. Everyone seems to want to make this harder than it is (although it's not all that simple). Larman does a fabulous job of making sense to someone who is familiar with the idea, but not the implementation.

    Anyone wanting to get some background on UML and OOAD should *definitely* get this book. Worth every penny. Actually comes in hardback, too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If only I read this 7 years ago.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2011
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I graduated from university with a degree in software engineering. Although I managed to scrape by with a decent grade I didn't go into an engineering profession because I found software engineering to be a real struggle. I didn't understand how people could go from the problem domain to the solution. My mistake was attempting to go straight to coding and figuring it out there. How many successful and complete programs did I write? None - not a single one. (Shocking I know).

    7 Years on I'm revisiting software engineering as a hobby and after discovering the missing design step to software development I stumbled across this book while looking to study UML further. I bought this book 18 months ago and was deterred by its shear size, there was no way I was gonna digest this book for fun. Here I am having demolished half the book in less than 48-hours (I confess I skipped some sections as to not get lost in the details). What I've managed to learn from this book is what my university degree should have taught (or maybe I just wasn't paying attention). Anyway, this book is the answer to my original question - how do you go from real-word problem to software solution?

    What this book teaches you is that UML is just a language to communicate ideas. Good software development comes from a good design process, some good software design principles, and understanding of a few key design patterns. Thanks too the author's inclusion of the Unified Process, GRASP, and GoF patterns and use of UML to communicate it has unveiled a methodical way of building software solutions to said problems. What this book does well is fill in the blanks; what classes should I use? what should the classes do? what methods should it have? And combining the UP, GRASP, GOF, and UML you'll have a good chance of answering those questions.

    I consider this book essential reading for all software designers and engineers. Don't be deterred by its size. Once you get your head around how to read this book IT WILL BE WORTH IT! I can't stress this enough. It lays the necessary foundation and cues for good design work. It'll save you a ton of work, effort, time and heartache further down the road.

    I don't expect to have internalized everything in the first pass, but after a few passes and internalizing as much as I can, I suspect that maybe I'll be creating well designed software applications ... just for fun.

    This is a great book even for experienced software engineers like me, its good to go over the concepts again with the building up of a fairly complex system from scratch. The example is Java but its easily done in other languages I worked through the book using C# and Python and found no problems what so ever. So an excellent book whether you use Java or not.
